For developer? Maybe. For user? No way.

Quite, I guess developers like that electron looks equally wrong everywhere? There’s teams of smart people at Apple, Microsoft, GNOME, KDE and other environments that spend a lot of time making things consistent (okay, perhaps not MS) so that users know intuitively how things work. Why throw all that away?

Not to mention it spins up an entire chrome process for every app? And doesn’t work on natively wayland?

It’s hard not to conclude that devs working this way hate their users.
